Doing neither while hinting that other people should do the work sure is revealing of the problem, though.

Then people haven’t cut back. The production has to go somewhere, they aren’t making money shoveling it off a cliff.

You can’t get meat from a cow twice, you can get milk lots of times.

Not eating red meat is so fucking easy now. If I can be an old man who went to school uphill in the snow both ways for a second, I dropped meat 20ish years ago in the US deep south, and holy fuck talk about an impossible diet. Even the vegetables had meat in them, and that is not a joke.

This is obviously going to depend on your area and how much of a food desert you’re in, but I’ve never seen so much access to so many kinds of meat replacements in average grocery stores and not just bougie upscale places. Tofu, tempeh, fake meat everything! Which isn’t even a big part of my diet, but I love having the option when I want something new.

I think part of it is that they want to gaslight people into believing they have actually achieved AI (as in, intelligence that is equivalent to and operates like that of a human’s) and that these are signs of emergent intelligence, not their product flopping harder than a sack of mayonnaise on asphalt.

Man. Just when eggs got under $3/dozen.

An ad hominem would be if I said something like ‘nobody should listen to this guy because he’s a sociopath,’ it’s not just a retort for when anyone makes any uncharitable characterization of your argument. (It’s also not even evidence that an argument is invalid, that’s called the fallacy fallacy)

Which, if you want to accuse me of committing an ad hominem by characterizing your argument as ‘fuck them kids,’ you might not want to immediately go straight to how they deserved it for living in a red state.

‘Cheer the deaths of children because it hurts their parents who might have voted for Trump’ is disgustingly low, congrats.

I’m going off news reports where the LAPD has shown up to kidnapping calls and kept the crowd back so they could abduct people.

They are explicitly instructed to ‘keep the peace’ as ICE abducts people.

If you have any examples of this actually doing anything other than giving cover to ICE I’d be open to seeing it.

TIL flash floods selectively target Trump voters. Or are we doing collective guilt now? Fuck them dead kids, am I right?

That’s exactly what they do every time they show up when people call them. All you’re doing is calling for backup for them.

I wasn’t aware that summer camp had kids that all voted for Trump. Those dead kids really got what was coming to them!

You are writing fanfiction. First you made up that these home owners live rurally, then you made up that Charlottesville is somehow expanding beyond the borders of the town?? Being able to read doesn’t help you if you have no reading comprehension.

Why would rural homeowners be filing a suit about a 10 square mile town they don’t live in?

The population density for Charlottesville is over 4500/sq mile. Nobody there is living rurally.

Question for the sailors out there: if they change the name back will that uncurse it or make it twice as cursed, since the name was changed twice?

Public transit isn’t for socializing, it’s for traveling. Public spaces like parks, libraries, squares, etc that don’t require payment to use are for socializing.

More public transit and more public spaces. Transit that you don’t have to think about taking (because it’s safe, frequent, and cheap or free) takes you to new places or to familiar places more often, and lets you meet more people more often. And going outside and doing shit is just good for you, I’m sorry to report.

This doesn’t make sense with how laws regarding flights over international waters work, which is generally that the laws of the country the plane is registered to apply while in international waters. If you get on an American plane in the US and land in a US territory, that’s not leaving the US. They clearly started from their conclusion and worked backwards.

Preaching to the choir, I know.

Yeah, getting published in Nature is a career gold star achievement. They’re very high impact (meaning many other scientific papers cite their articles).

I don’t think so? Dude looks like he’d be a WASP if he wasn’t Catholic. Unless he was doing some internet sock puppet shenanigans or something.
